ATHENS, Ala. -- A woman and two roommates are accused of holding her brother at gunpoint as she prayed for his repentance, even firing a shot into the ceiling to keep his attention.

Randy Doss, 46, of Athens said he fled the house when his captors got distracted and later went to police, who were skeptical at first because his story was so bizarre. But police said it checked out, including the bullet hole in the ceiling.

"We found where they patched the hole with caulk," said Sgt. Trevor Harris.

Police said the sister, Tammie Lee Doss, 43, Donna Leigh Bianca, 37, and Ronald David Richie, 45, who live at the Athens house, were charged with unlawful imprisonment, a misdemeanor. The two women were also charged with menacing, a misdemeanor. All were released on bond.

2. St. Matthew 5:44...

"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; and if that doesn't work - just shoot em'. Amen." (The Newerest Testament, Revised Athens, Ala. Edition)

4. I don't even find this surprising

This is now the republikan Amerika, where people who kill people with bombs in women's health clinics are no longer considered terrorits.

Nothing shocks me anymore. Nothing.

5. I'm with you.

I saw this and didn't bat an eyelash. I came here to see if anyone was surprised really. My first reaction, "Tell me something I don't know." In real life, I live amidst people with the same exact mindset. They will stop at nothing in their spiritual rape upon people who do not want their particularly hateful brand of religion. I wonder what else is new.

6. 7 years ago or so....

this woulda been a huge thread on a website, but it's became typical for the nutjob "religious" types. this is very sad. what a HORRIBLE impression this leaves on the victim, and those who read it who have not put trust in the Lord. I feel horrible for him.

7. They took "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition" quite seriously.

They were a bit too literal minded.

8. Judi Lynn, would you mind cross posting in GD for more visability?

Sheesh. I read this in LBN and when I came back it was hidden here where no one will see it.
